Kappa Chakka KandhariNostalgia on your Plate...

Lazy summer afternoons under the 'naattu maavu'...

The mad scrambles for the falling 'manga pazham'...

The crazy dives into the 'kudumba kulam'...

The perpetual chirping of the 'cheeveedu'...

The sudden pitter-patter of heavy 'mazha thullikal'...

The invigorating smell of 'putthan mannu'...

The enchantment of water drops rolling off the 'chembu illakal'...

The lowing of cows from the 'kannukaali thozhuthu'...

The divine aromas wafting in from 'amma’s adukkala'...

We travelled across God’s own country visiting Ammas, Achammas and Ammummas, We spent days cooking with them, coaxing them to teach us their little secrets; requesting them to be part of our earnest endeavour to preserve the magic of authentic Kerala cuisine. Unique, vast and timeless in its sheer variety and versatility.

We serve you the culinary delicacies from our childhood in Kerala. And we hope to create those very same explosions of flavours on your palate, through our carefully crafted culinary delights …

Be a kid once again!
